NaNoWriMo 2017

[Natasi Fortan]

Is anyone doing National Novel Writing Month this year?

For those uninitiated, NaNoWriMo is an intensive, 30-day project (November 1-30) wherein you strive to complete a 50,000 word novel in those 30 days.

I am giving it serious consideration, as I've been trying (without success) to achieve significant progress on my novel for a long while now and something always comes up, but I would like to make a serious effort. I thought it might be fun if there were others on the board doing it, if we could form a kind of support group for it. To that end, I've set up a Discord server (click this link) for people who are participating and would like to chat, bounce plot ideas off one another, or form reading partnerships, etc. It's nothing terribly formal and I think it can be flexible as to what types of channels we have, etc. so if you have ideas for that I'm all about it.

Anyway, if you'd like more information about the Discord you can always post here or DM me, and if you want information about NaNoWriMo they have a whole website about it here!

I did it last year, completed it for the first time. Useful exercise in getting out of your own way as a writer. I'm still not sure whether I'll do it this year, but this is a darn good idea.

I would really love to try this, might just be the push I need to get my story from planning into something substantial

I’ve never heard of this, but I like the idea. I’ve been planning a space (psychological) horror for a few years now and haven’t been able to get past the first chapter, this could help.

We'd be happy to have you in the Discord if you want to join. We can buck each other up

Every year I don't do NaNo makes me want to do it more. This year I actually have ideas, but between Chaos and real life chances are one would end up getting neglected :/

Good luck to folks having a go at it! I'm rooting for you all from my corner

I've tried it several years, and I always get kicked in the nads by life a few weeks in. This year, I'm cheating my ass off and starting early. Anyway, I'm in the Discord channel now.

I've been trying to hype myself up and actually attempt it this year, so this might be just the thing to keep me going. School might interfere, but we'll see how it goes.

I'll definitely have to check it out, [member="Natasi Fortan"].
